Hi all
I was wondering as to what peoples protocols are for peaking a "usual" suite of major elements for silicate minerals (Si,Al,Fe,Na etc). Are people using the ROM peaking method of their instrument then manually reviewing/manipulating their peak position after, or are they using one of the peaking methods in PfE (Maxima, Gaussian, etc) and finding one is better than another?
Due to some reasonable peak shifts in the different silicate minerals for elements like Si/Al, are people peaking on matrix matched standards as best they can and having individual sample setup files for different minerals?
I found a great talk online by John Fournelle given in 2007 on this, but was wondering what other people are doing at the moment.
Cheers
